I like Tom. Great guy. Got to spend time with him while I lived in NorCal.. but it doesnt mean I'm going to lay down for him at an AutoX..LOL
I have the chassis and the LSD gearbox. I dont even have to drive (I'll put a SCCA National Champ in the seat if need be) What kind of HP/TQ will it take to beat him. I'm figuring the course is going to be VERY fast since it is being held here in SD. Thoughts on this? This will probably be my last "hurrah" with owning a 914 race car. The car is GUTTED. No windshield.. very little to NO steel in it. Goodyear R430's on 7's+8's. Full cage. It will end up with alum floor pans with small tubes. Shifter/seat/steering wheel. 3 gallon tank. B |

Brad, Britain and I looked his car over fairly closely at Parade this year. Old bushings that are cracking, basic suspension. Really big front and rear tires(especially the rears), really big rear wing. Car is completely stripped. Fiberglass body panels all around. I forget which /6 he has, but it is "built".
Put on a really big wing, really big tires and lots of HP and torque. Then drive real fast. Good luck. Gary |
